Chapter 28
Beca's POV
I wake up to the sound of Chloe's alarm. It is turned off almost as soon as it starts. I roll over and see Chloe lying there staring at me with her phone in her hand. She had her classic huge smile on her face.
"Good morning Becs!"
"Good morning Chlo. Umm two questions for you. One, were you watching me sleep and two, why is your phone in your hand and why do you look so guilty?"
"Technically that's three questions, but I'll answer them anyway. First off, yes I was watching you sleep because you look so cute and also because I woke up early and was too excited to go back to sleep. The reason I had my phone in my hand was because I texted Bree and Stace to let them know we can do the double date tonight! Also I wanted to make sure I could turn my alarm off and I... maybe took a picture of you." Chloe mumbles the last part so I could barely hear her
"Chloe I swear to god if you really took a picture of me sleeping I'm going to break up with you right now." I say trying my best to sound serious.
Chloe swipes a few times on her phone then shows me the picture she took. "But Becs look at how cute you look!"
Aubrey's POV
"Did you hear the good news?" I jump at the sound of Stacie's voice as she walks back into her room.
"No, what's the good news?" I ask getting up from her desk and going over to pull her into a hug. I never used to need to be touching someone as much as I do with Stacie. She was only gone for about 15 minutes to shower and yet it feels like hours. I know she is the same way. Somehow we always find a way to be touching when we're together. Or pulling each other into a hug or a quick (if we're in public) kiss whenever we reunite after being apart for a period of time. Stacie wraps her arms around me and melts into the hug.
"Chloe texted" Stacie murmurs into my shoulder, then starts to pull away from the hug so I can hear her better. "She said, and I quote, 'Hey Stace! My girlfriend and I are free for that double date you wanted to go on tonight! Let me know if that works for you and Bree!'" Stacie finishes reading the text with a shit eating grin on her face. I know that my jaw dropped the second Stacie said the word girlfriend.
"Stace I love you, and I know you are extremely smart, but are you sure you read that correctly?" There's no way Beca and Chloe got their shit together enough to be officially girlfriends. Stacie laughs and nods her head. "Huh…. Those two idiots actually figured it out… I think I'm actually at a loss for words right now…"
Stacie dramatically gasps and puts on her best announcer voice "Ladies and Gentleman you heard it here first, Aubrey Posen, Self-proclaimed know-it-all, is at a loss for words" I lightly smack her shoulder and try to pout, which is extremely hard because of the smile that's threatening to break though. "Its ok Bree, being a know-it-all is cute on you." Stacie pulls me in for a kiss.
I pull away for a minute "Don't think kissing me will get you out of trouble for calling me a know-it-all… Twice!" I say with a laugh.
"Hey I said it was cute! And you know that I love you." I feel her start to lean in for another kiss and meet her halfway. After a few minutes of kissing I feel stacie start to pull away. "As much as I love doing this, we're going to be late! Also what am I texting Chlo?"
"Tell her tonight works and we'll meet them at the diner at 6:30." I say as I start to collect my things and look in the mirror one last time.
"Wait, why 6:30? We're all done with class at 4:30, we don't need 2 hours to get ready, we only need like 20 minutes?" Stacie asks, visibly confused.
I turn around with a smirk on my face "Well if you must know I would love to spend time with my girlfriend before our date…" I open the door to Stacie's dorm and start to walk through" And what I want to do with our time definitely takes more than 20 minutes" I finish leaving the room and close the door. After a couple seconds as I'm walking down the hallway I hear the door open again.
I hear Stacie call out "Bree, you can't just say shit like that and then leave! How am I supposed to get anything done today!"
Becas POV
I hear my alarm start going off and I've never been more annoyed to hear it. Chloe is currently stradling me and kissing my neck. I pull my hand away and start blindly hitting at my desk for where my phone is to try and turn the alarm off. After a few attempts I managed to be successful.
"Chlo, as much as I'm loving this, we need to get ready. That was the last alarm." I can still feel Chloe continuing her descent down my neck towards my chest. "Chloe, seriously, they're going to know what we were doing before we left. We can't be late!" Chloe removes her lips and huffs as she slides off of me. I'm immediately missing her touch once she gets up.
"Becs, just out of curiosity, what do you think Stacie and Aubrey's plans were before our date tonight? Because you and I both know that they scheduled this date waaaay later then they needed to. And I told you when I came over here that Stacie was over, so how do you think they've been-"
I put my fingers in my ear and start yelling "La la la la la I don't want to hear this" I feel Chloe pull my hands down. "Seriously Chlo, Bree is my sister and I don't want to think about what she and Stacie do when they're alone together."
"Alright, fine! You're no fun Becs!" Chloe tries to give me her best pouty face. I bend down and grab our shirts and throw hers at her face.
"Wipe that pout off your face and get dressed. We need to make sure we don't look like we've spent the last hour making out.
After fixing our hair and makeup we start the walk to the diner. We're about halfway there when all of a sudden I hear Chloe gasp.
"What?! What is it Chlo?" I start looking around but I don't see anything out of the ordinary. Then I see her start to point at me. "Chlo what is it? You're stressing me out!"
"Becs… please don't get mad at me.." I furrow my brow why would i be mad at chloe "I need you to pull out your phone" I still have no idea what is happening, but I pull out my phone anyway. "Ok now I need you to go to your camera and look at your neck" I do as she says and nearly drop my phone. I instantly feel my cheeks go hot.
"Chloe!" I hiss "you gave me a HICKEY! What part of I don't want them to know we were making out before this did you NOT understand!" I take my hand and try to rub it like it's going to go away.
"Becs, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! Just make sure your hair is covering it all night and we'll be fine!" I groan. Somehow I know that this isn't going to be fine.
We finish the walk to the diner. I can see Aubrey and Stacie already sitting at a booth through the window, so Chloe and I walk in to sit at the table with them.
